Destined

Hard

Xavier's POV

We ended up going back to Leilani's house and chilling with her family. Her family is really cool. And Xavier seems to like Alex a lot. I know their names know, but I still can't tell Jaden apart from Kaden. We are here so I didn't have to spend the money my dad gave me.

I actually fell asleep watching frozen with Leilani and Xavier. I woke up and looked at the time. 1am.

F************CK!!

My dad is going to kill me. I'm not even playing.

I get up and pick up Xavier carefully. Trying not to hurt myself, and wake him at the same time. Leilani woke up and looked around.

"Where are you going?" She asks me in a tired voice.

"Home. My dads gonna kill me." I tell her as I hurry and walk towards the front door. I hear Leilani walking behind me.

"See you tomorrow, or today." She says to me with a smile. I smile at her and run towards my house. I had no choice but to go through the front door because I wasn't going to be able to carry him up that ladder.

I went to the front door and opened it.

I walked in and closed the door. By now Xavier is awake. I stand him up and tell him to go upstairs.

My dad comes around the corner with an angry look on his face.

Keep it together. Keep it together.

"You were supposed to be home two hours ago!" My dad yells at me.

"I know, I'm sorry. I lost track of t-"
I say but I get cut off with a slap to my face. It hurt like hell. He has big hands and he's strong.

"I don't care. You should have been here." My dad tells me.

"I'm sorry" I say to him. But he doesn't care. He never cares. He continues to beat me. But this time, I didn't black out. I just laid on the floor crying. I can't help it. What am I supposed to do?

After a while my dad went to bed. And I limped up the stairs. Everything hurts. It's like my stomach is on fire.

I walk into my room to see Xavier fast asleep on my bed. I wish I was as peaceful as he is.

I can't believe I have to go through this.

I walk to my closet and sit in the corner. I bring my knees to my chest and close my eyes.

I hate the life that I live. I wish things could be different.

(Next morning)

I get on the bus and sit by Leilani as usual.
We talked small talk and she just rambles about anything. I like hearing her talk. It takes my mind off things.

But I couldn't stop thinking about my dad. All this stuff I go through. What makes him want to hit his child. For what? I'm in severe pain right now, because of my dad. He used to be the best dad ever, but now, I'm scared of him.
